We are going out on Friday - haven't been out for yonks - gotta get dressed up, wear make-up, wear high heels - don't know how I'm gonna manage never mind walk.
After making huge lifestyle changes earlier on in the year we haven't been out atall, and haven't missed it either, now I'm suddenly thrown into huge panic about ditching the jeans and kickers for something a little more ladylike ;D
???
All dressed up? Nope, sorry, does not compute!
If not jeans, whats a girl supposed to wear???????
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Delilah, I'm sure you'll look beautiful!! Go on gal, pull out all the stops and do a bit of dazzling!! Had to wear skirt myself this morning, only briefly, kids didn't recogninse me!! But felt kinda good!! Til had been in shoes for more than 10mins, then hobbled home and jumped back into jeans...phew!! Have a wonderful time, and post pic of glam you!!!
Lottie ;D
I enjoyed our day out when I put a dress on the other week!!!
Crash
Way hey! Out on the razzle dazzle eh?! Good, I hope you both enjoy yourselves. I love getting dressed up and wearing big heels and glittery things. Doesn't happen very often but when it does I love it! I bought some lush shoes during the summer. Had nowhere to wear 'em so I wore them in the evenings whilst sitting on the sofa lol! I thought I looked stunning in front of the telly and I didn't even have to change my jeans hee hee!
Me to Heldi. Love getting dollied up, makeup, big heels, tootling around with a glass of vino collapso...speaking of which, will be doing just that this Saturday as my mum is babysitting. Now what to wear...... ;D
Had a fab night - drank far too much but had a fantastic time and didn't feel too bad this morning!
I didn't look quite as well groomed upon my return as I did at the beginning of the evening - I put the slap on, even strainghted my unruly mop, painted nails but had to draw the line at skirt and teetering shoes so opted for rock chic look instead and went for black trouser and teetering boots - sorry lottie/UC/kate but have only just entered the modern age of all things computerised/technical so don't have digital camera yet, but maybe one day !!!
I've got two more outings to get glammed up for before Chrissy - I'm sure that will keep me going for another year til next Christmas :D
Hope you have a great night EJ
Bet you look fabulous!! Jsut call me erm..no idae as yet, am still stumped!! But would love to have seen!! Next time, eh? Glad you had fun! ;D
Whoever.... ::) ;D ;)
Here we go again - all glammed up for another night out - this is becoming a little bit regular - had a couple of glasses of rhubarb wine, I always need some dutch courage for nights out, feel like a fish out of water now!!
Once upon a time (only last year) was spruced up and on the razzle dazzle every week, how things have changed!!
Delilah Go Go and enjoy. You are only young once and the nice thing about feeling young can carry you on for years ;D Take it from one who knows :) :) :)
Come on Delilah, as a bloke who is very much a bloke, you have got to get a piccie up for us, complete with a glass of rhubarb wine of course !!!
Derekthefox :D

Joggies? Lol.
Have a wonderful time, Delilah!! Still sat here in jeans and DMs.... ::) would so love an exscuse to get glammed up.....maybe I'll surprise the person I'm working for on Monday, and turn up to dig in heels and little black dress... ;D ;D ;D ;) spade at the ready of course...
Woo hoo sounds like great fun Wardy!
And of course, Russ will be accompanying you..... have a lovely time Wardy!!!
Wardy. Sure you will have a great time. Is Russ going to be in his best suit ;D
Wardy Re soft as a brush? Ahem I am also guilty as charged ::) If I go out for the day then she is put in kennels, she loves the kennel maid. If I go out for couple of hours she will lay quite content in the car.. If I leave her indoors on her own she barks all the time. Wouldn't like the little darling to get a sore throat ;D ;D
Delilah
Send us a pic when you've completed the task.
Vony.
A very goodnight was had on Friday - opted for Rock Chic ensemble, boring I know but I felt comfortable. We've got a black tie event in a fortnight so looks like a posh frock might be required, god knows how I'll cope with a dress AND high heels ;D ;D
Hope you have a brill night on Monday Wardy :)
Poor you Lottie, you could always just get glammed up for the hell of it ;D ;D
Sorry boys haven't got camera to do piccys, and wouldn't anyway, OH is always teasing me cos when we've been on hols there are always tonnes of photos of everybody else but never any of me!!!!!!!!Its not a pretty sight, trust me!!! ;D

I adamantly refuse to believe that Delilah !!!
Derekthefox :D
I bet you looked fabulous, Delilah, I would get glammed up, but I really don't want to upset my jeans, we've bonded you see...... black dress and DMs....? No, didn't think so..... ::) ;)

new trend maybe????????
I will await a pic or an avatar then !!!
Derekthefox ;D
I hope that restaurant is good and dark ;D My knees look flippin filthy. it's all that ground in muck accummulated over the summer. I always seem to be gardening on hands and knees (bad back yer know) so consequently my knees get ditched. I;ve scrubbed em til they're as red as beetroots ;D thought I'd have to resort to the Jif ;D
Trouser suit Wardy?
Derekthefox :D
try lemon juice mixed with dead sea salt and olive oil - and scrub like mad!
Failing that I would go with the trouser suit ;D
Maybe I'm a little naive but for the first time this week I've seen a ladies evening trouser suite very similar to a mans in M/S including the satin tape on the outside of the trouser legs and the silk lapels.
Vony.
I think they're for lady snooker players :-\
Wardy. Aha my kind of talk.....snooker. Many many years ago when I was fifteen I was in the English championship of lady snooker players. My brother in law was manager of snooker hall in Eltham SE London all my spare time was spent in the hall. THEN I MET CHARLIE ;D
Well if they're the same as the lady referees wear, they are extremely smart, and definitely have my approval !!!
Derekthefox :D
The lady snooker players always look immaculate :)
Knee pad ;)s, Wardy?? Could start whole new fashion...be a fashion icon.... ;D ;D ;D
I've got a pair as well. From when I worked on the face you know :)
I hope you have washed them then Wardy ...
Derekthefox :D
I'm pleased I said I was a bit naive, but as there were fifty odd suits on the rail I assumed this was a new fashion for evening dress.
Vony.

I bought myself a dinner suit when I was younger Redclanger ... I can only remember ever wearing it once ... just didnt feel comfortable ...
Derekthefox :D
Thanks Lorna!! But I seem to be doing a remarkably efficient job with my mouth.... ::)Â ;D ;)
You look lovely, Vony! But no DMs? ??? ;)
OOooooooooer don't you look smart Vony :)

I don't like this Christmas Ball thing that we have to attend and my OH hates wearing a dinner suit, last year I wore ladies dinner suit cos I'm not atall comfortable in an evening dress - LIKE A DUCK OUT OF WATER - but this year I am wearing a dress, not a conventional evening dress but a frock nevertheless :D
Keep digging Lottie, would love to see some piccys! ;D
How was last night Wardy, did the knees scrub up OK? ;D
What about wellies then - at least I'll be ready to get back down the old lottie.
Vony.
I have a pair of 10 hole highly polished DM's that I keep just for nights out ...
Derekthefox ;D
Keep the noise down you lot I have a head ache - even my toast was too noisy this morning! Ouch
Had a great time, far too much to drink but I didn't fall over or embarrass myself. Well not that I can recall. Look a bit skewiff on this pic though so was on me way when this was taken ;D
That's me on the right - the young lady on the left is an "in bloom" volunteer who left us last night for pastures new unfortunately :'(
Lovely picture Wardy, it is obvious you were enjoying yourself, and you do look glam ...
Were you leaning deliberately or had the world started rotating ... ? ;D
Derekthefox ;D
Two British Roses thats set my computer alight.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/vcrjones30133/computeronfire.gif)
Vony.
Aw Wardy you look lovely!
Wardy. You scrubbed up well ;D(Your words) Can't see the knees though. Joking aside you look lovely. Hope you didn't have to get up and make early morning breakfast for guests!!!!!
Only for one. Groan 8)
:'( :'(
Whoah Wards!! Lovely!! Isn't you leaning, it's the person taking the pic...honestly.. and Lorna, you're really expecting me to post a pic of me in liitle black dress, wearing DMs, digging a hole with me mouth........ erm no?::) ::) ::) ;)
UC. OMG I keep trying to teach you and you just do not listen. Tle ladies spade is for digging a bigger hole that you can hide in ::) ::)
Oooooooooohhh!! Erm, OK! Bung it here then, and I will scrub ears out instead of general scrub....though have been hoovering leaves for 4 hours and can't actually lift my arms to scrub... ::) ;)
Wow Wardy all glammed up and having a ball - hope the headache is easing a little :)
UC you crack me up you do ;D
I'm sure I've seen that dress before ..... now was it Oxford Street ...... or Oxfam ..... runs
AD - no need to take the micky out of Wardy's mate ;D ;D
*grins*
AikenDrum, I suspect you will end up on the wrong end of Wardy's wrath ... and then there will be tears ...
Derekthefox :D
< .... I'm prepared to pay for protection .....
I can't imagine many people in this forum would be willing to protect you from Wardy ... ;D
Derekthefox :D
Take it like a man Aiken, take it like a man.
Thank you for the kind words Aiken - I expected no less. Drumming fingers here and tapping foot, arms folded. ;D Would it have hurt to say something nice for once hmmmm ......... ;D
Actually it was my old man who was in charity shop duds - he got his black Pierre Cardin shirt from Help the Aged in town ;D
In conclusion I have only this to say to you ............ ;D
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I remember my shorthand.....
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Alas, I am in the dark, as usual ...
Derekthefox :D
d**n!!!! I have forgotten the shorthand I learnt all those years ago :'(
LOLOL!! Me to! OOoooerrrr Aiken.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Sentio aliquos togatos contra me conspirare ........
Si Senior!! ;D ;D ;D
Infer yer
Infer yer
We've all got it in fer yer
A conspiracy - you bet ;D
I am bowing out of this thread.... too intellectual for me ::) ::)
Vescere bracis meis ! ;D ;D ;D
Well, yes, that's you told... Is it Wards? Is that him told??
Same here Lorna, can't follow any of it ... still, could I ever ... ;D
Derekthefox :D
I wouldn't touch em with a ten foot pole - ne'r mind eat em ;D
hahahaha !
Right! Can't spend any more time on here trading insults with AD. Have important stuff to do. Have to go now and get creative with kippers. I have whole, unadulterated kippers which I must have a dummy run to prepare in time for tomorrow's fias.... er breakfast.
Second thoughts .... hey AD yer big lug ;D
wardy, it just clicked into place .. Lawyer... Latin ... it was a shoo in for you ! *slaps own head* ::)
Well there you are AD ;D
Guess what!!!! I'm going out!!! In public!! Whehay! My matey popped round this PM and has invited me out for a Christmas drink....low key casual thing.....well, no way!! ;D ;D ;D ! I'm going to wear a real live skirt!!!! :o ;D ;)
and DM's!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
Erm no Delilah... ::) Got them muddy today!!! Was actually considering real boots, you know the ones.....girlie ones!! ;D ;D ;D ;)
Does this mean more girlie pictures on this thread ;) The list is growing ...
Derekthefox :D
Lottie. Don't forget camera and if you are a shy YOUNG thing you can always send it by email to me. ;) ;)
LOL!! OK Lorna, is not til next Tuesday, so have a while to practice walking and not stomping.....

Think I'll be emailing Lorna...... ::) ::) ::) ;) am suddenly overcome with huge bout of shyness.......
I am too much of a gentleman to infer such a thing Redclanger, I was merely suggesting the ladies would appreciate showing off their posh frocks ...
Derekthefox :D
UP
You shy ....NEVER! ;)
Derek
Well...er..yes and no, sometimes, maybe....Depends on the circumstances, if a car turned up outside now and someone said could you please come and sing the National Anthem in front of a full house at Wembley, whilst hopping on one foot with a tea cosy on your head...no probs, no time to think you see....But if Jack came home with letter saying could I talk to 3 kids about chicken poo a week on Friday....massive panic attack!!! Time to think and go through all possible disasters!! Take my avatar, Lorna asked if I'd post pic of t shirt when I'd put on graphics... no probs I said.... had too long to think about all possible permutations..... ::) ::) ::) They are very good by the way.... ;D ;D ;D
Tell you what Lottie - if you post piccy then so will I :o(thats if I ever figure out what how to) ;D
I hope I am not on that virtual list of names Wardy !!!
Derekthefox :D
Have to say the chances of me posting piccy are very slim - like UC it would have to be a spur of the moment thing give me too much time to ponder and you don't stand a chance.
LOL!! Well have come up with cunning plan Delilah and Wards...I will, if you will, and if Aiken does...... ;D ;D ;D in fact why haven't the lads posted any eh?
Good point UC we've been introduced to DtF ;D :D
You lot have seen many pictures of me - via my avatars remember, so just as a reminder ...
So come on ladies ...
Derekthefox ;D
Like the shades :) :)
Oh no Clanger - look what you've started now ... ::) ;)
LOL!! Think the calendar 2006 is up and running again... ;D Come on TM!! You can be July!! ;D ;D ;D ;) Clanger have you marked down for Feb, Aiken June......
LOL DtF - what I meant was that you were the only fella game enough to show yourself - but Hey a reminder is always useful ;D
We're waiting boys......................post those piccys please ;D.................... ;D
Fair enough Delilah, but don't try and steer the topic, the ladies should post in their posh frocks too !!! or not in their posh frocks, I am not fussy ... ;)
Derekthefox :D
Mr July? "sadly" I've lost the software for my digital camera  :-\
You'll just have to picture: tall, dark and errrmmm....
It's OK, TM, I'm sure you can borrow one.... ;D
It's a bit cold in February - can I have some tape for my nipples?
(http://www.gifs.net/Animation11/Nature/Weather/Cold_guy.gif)
I'm getting the feeling that you are all just wimps ...
Derekthefox ;D
Where did I deny it? ;D
I'll do you swappsies Max - I'll do July for you and you can do February for me.
Ok Clanger - you're on. I'm not taking Foxy's slurs lying down or even sitting up ...see new Shed thread DTF (if you dare).
(...but I'm not going topless).
Oh for goodness sake!! Here you go whoever, I could only find duck tape.....so use sparingly.... :o ;)
You're just quibbling now boys, tell you what choose your own month, if that keeps you happy, but bear in mind that a summer month would require less attire ;D
Bearing in mind, Feb is my birthday month........ ;D ;D ;D ;)
Wardy you looked beautiful!! And I went shopping and saw nowt as lovely as your dress, bought some nice socks though.... so am stuck!!! Skirtless! Can see Tuesday being jeans and DMs... ::) ;)
It s only the fella's that fired insults - we thought you looked fab :)
OK, am getting worried now....can feel a mad impulsive moment approaching.....help me , Delilah!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;) give me permuatations and statistics of what could go wrong....
Erm..................I'm thinking.................worst case senario...............erm.......sorry Lottie but there isn;t one.....................now I'm thinking why are we so bothered about posting piccys ???...................just sit tight DON't do anything take a sip of the rhubarb stuff...............and don't touch the keyboard ;)
OK right!!! Will wear jeans and will post pic!! Is too late Delilah!! that blessed rhubarb!!
Erm.....you got me, was just about to post pic of my milk bottle scarecrow.....OK will do....be nice!! ::) ;)
Firstly, Wardy, you look stunning. Â Ignore those noisy boys!
Secondly, as I have a black-tie do next Friday, I would like to nominate myself for Mr December (fully clothed!). Â
I would be happy to post a piccy of me in my hand-tailored Tuxedo (crafted for Yours Truly when working in the USA, by New York's finest couturiers). Â After all, this is how I normally dress when digging or shifting muck, down on me lottie! Â
Unfortunately, Mrs Jimbo will not be in attendance (she scrubs up really well, but has a head's start on me, in the glam stakes!). Â It's one of them "only employees" bashes, which I find usually leads to some "indiscretions" and red faces on the Monday morning!
:)
Jimbo
Will somebody else please post their pic in the other bit!!! Feel a dufus there all on me own!! ::) ::) ::) ;)
Wardy,
I have no intention of being indiscrete - being an 'oldie' on the team, I usually spend my time advising Young'uns away from indiscretions, besides which, as Mrs Jimbo often tells me, nobody else would have me!!!
She's a cracker, really!
:)
Jimbo
I've posted mine here lottie, I am not doing it twice !!!
Derekthefox :D

Far more members that that, Lorns!! Carol, Flowerlady's lost the plot, saw GW talking to herself while back....Dibs is a definite when she gets back... though her tardiness has bee noted. Jess...the list is sooooo long... and me pens run out.. ::)
I have resigned. Told you my memory fails me. Apologies to all the members not listed. UC I command you to take over!! My parting speech.
No No No No No says me stomping my foot furiously :o...................we need you Lorna coz you have wonderful moments of sensibleness (is that a real word) and am desperately in need of someone to keep me on the kinda straight and narrow ;D
sometimes anyway ;D :D :)
Lottie ..........NOOoooooooooooooooooooo.......not the cat poor little thing ;)

My bottle of champers ended up in the freezer! I am miffed as it was me who put it there during the cut and thrust of Christmas dinner. My son dared venture a criticism of how it ended up there. He's now decorating the top of the Christmas tree ;D
Bit miffed here, cat got up an left right in the middle of a stern finger waggling and one of my "I'm serious looks.."
Mineral water please......OMG!! NNNNNNNNooooooooooooo... funny 5 mins.....2 bottles of white, please...

Wardy Please stop! After falling about over your other post my sides are aching.Have you ever thought of going on the stage. I guarantee ypu would make more money than running your B & B. Dawn French, Joan Rivers move over!!
Hope that tree is strong, is he a big lad?
